Dear Friends (Rick Savage Singing)

[angelfish1991]

Main problem with this song-it's not long enough. Nicely done, Mr. Savage!

[lovefaithpain]

Happy birthday Sav <3

[angelfish1991]

Only bad thing about this song is that it's too short. I know how much of a Queen fan Sav is & I think Freddie would be proud.

[Ingvekjos]

Why would Def Leppard do a cover of this song? Yea, let´s make a lullaby written by Freddie Mercury into a cheesy rock-song, seems like a GREAT idea.

[MegaBradley01]

@Ingvekjos It was written by Brian May, otherwise you are totally right in my view.

[leppardizeit909]

@Patriotsfan3366

Yes, he's totally a rock god, but you can barley hear him when he's backing. This is just his voice alone, and it sounds AMAZING! But Def Leppard as a whole really sounds just perfect. :) ROCK ON SAV!

[MsBestqueen]

Queen and Def leppard are the best!!!

[Patriotsfan3366]

I prefer his backing vocals and rock god stage presence but its all good

[TheShan68]

He may be a lot older now, but I would still do him in a heartbeat !! He is still sexy as hell !!!!!

[Melvolturiisnuts]

F*ck! why all the hot sexy guys have to be old now? guys at the 80s rocked!

[bvg83]

cute guy

[XDownByTheSeaSideX]

MORE! 

[leppardizeit909]

Look at the tags. :) I agree.

[leppardizeit909]

Sav is sooooooo awesome and sexy... The best bassist ever! If I ever meet him, I'll hug him and never let go!

[NScole6407]

I love his dancing at 0:43. So adorable. 8D

[RFMG567]

what song is this?

[Ilovetriops]

@RFMG567 It's Dear Friends by Queen. :D

[paulmccartneyishot]

wow... all i can say is that... THAT WAS PRETTY DAMN GOOD!!!

[annieismajikal]

WHERE DID U GET THESE AMAZING PICKS AND VIDS?!?!?!?!?!

[rockknroll14]

LOVE SAV !

great photos and vids(:

[cliffthelightning]

Sav' is underrated , i know he plays a lot of one string songs but c'mon he's just a great bassist , nice fat tone , great support for the other instruments , and he's a great writer too

didn't he write the acoustic end of gods of war?

[nwbritt]

@cliffthelightning Steve did I think. But Sav played it live.

[dylman108]

@cliffthelightning he might have. all i know is he played it at the end

[Pancha312]

:O

[marclee15]

sav is god.

[shewolf73]

Beautiful, Sav should sing on his own more. I love Sav :)

[StellaLunaification]

BTW, what site did the audio come from?

[StellaLunaification]

God, he's gorgeous, isn't he?

<3 My favorite member of Def Leppard, right here.

Rock on, Def Leppard!

[lovefaithpain]

~2 December~ happy birthday Sav <3

[Winxica4ever]

I like it more when Freddie Mercury sings it and whole version by Queen is much better, but ok, it's good cover ...

[dgkcthfan8]

Sav is a good singer. So are Joe and Phil. I've heard Rick Allen sing. Eh, it was ok. But where can I hear STEVE SING?!

[LolaWeedles]

@dgkcthfan8 Steve hated singing. I don't think anyone will ever hear a recording of him singing.... unless it was a joke or something

[dgkcthfan8]

@LolaWeedles Well, tht sucks >:(

[LolaWeedles]

@dgkcthfan8 I know!! I wanna hear him sing tooo :(

[dgkcthfan8]

@LolaWeedles Maybe if we listen real closely then we can pick out his voice! Lol

[HanonGuurl527]

@dgkcthfan8 Please tell me where you heard Rick Allen singing

[dgkcthfan8]

@HanonGuurl527 It was off of some live performance. He and Sav were the only ones singing and I just blocked out Sav's voice.

[HanonGuurl527]

@dgkcthfan8 You? Does that mean you have it on your channel?

[dgkcthfan8]

@HanonGuurl527 No, but try one of the "In The Round" videos. One of them should have Rick and Sav singing. His voice should be pretty obvious to pick out.

[DefLeppard771]

God Bless him

[DefLeppard771]

I WANNA MARRY HIM!!

[olkaaaPL]

@DefLeppard771 me too (:

[ozzieo75]

It's him, check out Candy In Your Hands, Also, you can hear him singing with his daughter on the Dave Kilner tribute(so sweet!!!!) and you hear a lot more of him than is also realized on other songs, Sugar, for example, you'll realize there are 2 voices singing the verse(Joe & Sav) and the end of Hysteria when they start singing "closer, closer, get closer, closer to me" 2 voices there, 1 Joe, ! Sav. If you go through , I'm sure you can find more.

[kennard73]

Just one word: EXCELLENT!

[ZoahLord]

Ah Rick's love for Queen has spilt out again. Refreshing to hear a pumping version of this killer song :D

[DefLeppard771]

WOW!! Sav is so great at everything!!! Bass, keyboard singing, acting, and guitar!!!!! He'll always be my hero!!!!

[deflepphartme]

@DefLeppard771 when did sav act?

[dgkcthfan8]

@DefLeppard771 Acting?

[AllyDuffRose]

@DefLeppard771 acting? you mean acting as in the music videos or acting as in movies? :D

[DefLeppard771]

@AllyDuffRose Both..............He can play the strings perfect in the music videos and in Tv shows! :D I love him soooo much!

[AllyDuffRose]

@DefLeppard771 oh wow! He is so talented! Sav rocks so much and he is still so beautiful! ;D

[DefLeppard771]

@AllyDuffRose I Know! Isn't he AMAZING?!?!?!

[AllyDuffRose]

@DefLeppard771 oh yeah! thats goes without saying ;D

[lostris666]

Fajnie brzmi , nie znałam Ricka z tej strony.

[ronnieadeffan]

sorry voice that ment to be lol

[ronnieadeffan]

i like it his voise  not bad

[IrishN00B]

He actually sounds a bit like Joe, but sweeter of course. ;)

[TheClassicrockgrl]

@IrishN00B oh yes sweeter

[Cassaraa3x3]

Hes really hot and basically this wasnt too bad.

[ilymyboisdefleppard]

GO SAV how can i hear joes version too wooo

[Saggitarian2December]

Very nicely done !

[hannahspaw]

I've never heard that and that was wonderful. GO SAV!!!!!! Someone said Joe sang that song too. I know without hearing it Sav's version is MUCH MUCH better

[mrdp]

I might be wrong but I think I have the same version singing by Joe Elliot.

[musicfancier]

"OMG!" hawt!

[IrishN00B]

I really want it too! Where can I get it without having to break into Sav's house and steal his copy. Not that I wouldn't wanna do that anyway...

[LADYSAVS1]

LOL. No, I get it. lol I like the Queen version it's kind of like a lullabye but I guess I am just biased because I adore this man so much but I think this version is catchier! lol It is faster and I like the beat better.

[LADYSAVS1]

The only place I have heard it is here. I abslultely love it. Like I said I sing it to my granddaughter or rather play it for her since his voice is so.....mmm! Well much better than mine. lol You HAVE to hear CANDY IN YOUR HANDS! That one will make your toes curl!

[LADYSAVS1]

This was a Queen song and I think, but I could be wrong, it was released on the Japanese version of YEAH! I heard them say in an interview that in Japan they put an extra track because it was something about the record company did that because CDs cost more in Japan and they wanted them to buy their version instead of the other CDs. It was something like that but I know it was a remake of a Queen song. Of Course I prefer the gorgeous Mr. Savage version!

[1980RockGirl]

Hey ladysavs1, should have known I'd find you here. I always thought Savage had a great voice. You can tell by listening to his harmony on def leppard.  I'm gonna try to find Candy in your hands now just cause you said it was good. :)

[LADYSAVS1]

Good is not the word! It will curl your toes and make your stomache go flip flop!!!

[LADYSAVS1]

Yep still makes me go..Ahhhhhh! I love this man! Everything about him! Did you find Candy in Your Hands RockGirl? I got a great vid for ya if you write me back. lol  You will looooove it!

[1980RockGirl]

Hi Lady! Good to hear from you. Yes I did hear Candy in Your Hands. It was great! I'd love to see the new vid you have!

[LayleighBoo]

i like both Queens and Ricks version.

i love def leppard and i have to say that Rick S is pretty dam HOTT.

[LADYSAVS1]

I am going to have to agree with you there!  lol

[LADYSAVS1]

I love Rick Savage's sweet voice. I play this for my granddaughter. I loooove him! If you like this one you should hear CANDY IN YOUR HANDS! Oh...my...!!!! It makes my knees weak! I loved him in the 80s and I love him even more now! BIG SIGH!!!!!!

[kagibso]

I love Sav's voice. He is so sweet.

[RonPaxton1]

i hope everybody realises this is actually a queen song. yeah.

[Griwhoolda]

transposed down.

[flyingvkid]

my sister in law is a spitting image of sav...!! honest!!

[catcrimsongirl]

It is him singing. I have this song on their Yeah bonus cd. He is credited with the singing and playing all the instruments.

[leppardjane]

that's my baby, ain't he wonderful!

[SecretDreamsx]

*swoons* geez, sav is amazing. i love his voice:) he's so sweet! <33

[styxgirl812]

[musicfancier]

Sav can sing me to bed any day!!!!!!!!!!!

[styxgirl812]

oh yes! =) i'd fall asleep slowly.

[RonPaxton1]

holy shit hes good

not as good as freddie though :)

[MoonlightJewelStar]

Amazing. I had a feeling Sav could sing, but dayum! I didn't know it was him

[IrishN00B]

yadda yadda yadda That cracked me up in te beginning, so I laughed through the whole vid. Rick is amazing and wonderful. Love the dance at 0:43 :D

If I were 30 years older, he'd be mine! <3

[styxgirl812]

yeah if i were in my 20's in the 80's he'd also be mine! he was so beautiful then!!! i'd spoil him everyday! lol!!!

[kagibso]

this great I love to hear Sav.

[winniee7251]

we never hear other members sing because they should support the lead singer!

he sings great!

[styxgirl812]

great?!?!?! you mean BEAUTIUL!!!! ahhhh it takes me away! <3

[milen4etooo]

His voice is... ahh!

[JuiceyCouture7]

his voice is good

[ChellerSteller]

Rick can sing! and he's so damn sexy. man, love him. His voice is pure.

[JuiceyCouture7]

o i no!!

[cdailey9672]

Yeah its Rick Savage .. it was on the Yeah! extra CD with interviews.

[ravenfirepheonix]

Well, it's ...er....

interesting.

[LADYSAVS1]

It is a beautiful song and it was sung by a beautiful man! His voice has a sweetness to it so I sing this to my granddaughter to help her sleep. This is my special song for her.

[catz72396]

i love this version its so hansem:)

[nwbritt]

I said it on another video but Sav could have been a lead singer in his own right. He has one of the purest voices I've ever heard.

[savvygirl4ever]

I adore him!

[mrhoneydoo]

this song was originally done by queen just so you know

[SteveClarkRockGod]

def leppard rocks....rick sav man he can really sing it kida reminds me of the beatles!!!great vid

[IrishN00B]

I adore him! I know life is pretty unfair, but if I really got what I wanted, we would have been married by now! ;)

[AconiteDreams]

Pretty damned good cover, I must say. I like where it picks up at :38. Pretty neat.

[Treaty4]

johnsitarpitar: Queen was great, but Def Leppard is the greatest band ever! Rick Savage is amazing. Stop with your nutty jealousy. Rick can sing whatever he wants to.

[JoshSitar]

As if I needed any more evidence that Def Leppard sucks, I found this.

Queen rules.

[SteveClarkRockGod]

queen is good but gay...literally!

[joeelliottroxmysox]

what an idiot...THEY WERE AT FREDDIE'S TRIBUTE!! dude you should get hold of your sanity! the lepps RULE!! YEAH!

[scarlettmonet]

Queen originally did this song. Their version is AWESOME! Lyrics and music by Brian May

[LADYSAVS1]

Yes it is Sav. I think he sounds so sweet. I like it. I (play)sing it for my granddaughter. He sings Candy in you Hands and I think it is sexy. He wrote and sang it. Say what you want I think his voice is sweet and sexy. He can sing to me anytime.

[JenPa39]

Well, If it is Sav then he sounds pretty good..... Mabey he should make a solo album for all the women out there who adore him!!! lol...

[Gathol]

I think it's Sav. Jenjen? so low? naughty. LOL nice vid mystic. is that all? aww well. cheers to you thanks thanky kindly jenjen. hugs. mmmm i think you were the model in the street. :) i almost said street model but that sounds skanky. :)

[iwantsav]

Awesome!! i love this song and i Pray he will sing more in the future...

I love him!!

[omgXfishee]

for a guy who plays in a heay rock band that sounds pretty dang good!!

i love sav anyway

it was so cute

its makes me smile

i love it

[audioslave234]

beautiful guy beautiful voice...

[Pixicaramelle]

I think he did this for fun and he is a Queen fan.

[deflepphartme]

wat site did u get this from?

[rachy2992]

he has such a sweet voice!

love sav <3

[jovigirl9]

he has an AMAZING voice too.

[jovigirl9]

I personally likr thisversion better than the Queen version. I really like where it speeds up and is more upbeat and happy.

[jovigirl9]

dose anyone know when this was recorded?

[MikkiMetalLuvsBrianJ]

Does anybody know what kind of bass guitar he uses in this vid? The white one? Please tell me if you do!

[deflep07]

it was recorded for the yeah albumn matey!!

So it would be the washburn XB925.

He has 3 of em, a normal one, a union jack and the Georges cross they are all the same just different colour schemes

[AlienXCherie]

When he back up sings for Def Leppard his voice is very rough and gruff, I'd not expect him to be this smooth and cool sounding. He's no Freddie, but He's still awesome!

[Gsd347]

Sexy.. I want him to be my bitch

[savageangel41]

I love it!!!I have to say it was awesome.ROCK ON Sav!!

[deflep07]

lol, yeh sav is no freddie mercury tht for sure!!!

Oh well he rocks and a better singer than Elliot, but u cnt replace Joey! He is the sound of Def lep

[florentcognet]

Oh my god, this one of my favorite Queen songs, this cover is a nightmare :-( Sav's out of tune, the guitars are just horrible, the drum part is awful, no that can't be Def Leppard, it can't!

Please !

I now understand why this cover has ony been released in the USA....

Sav, good choirist, awful lead singer.

[mysticxingjing16]

My fellow Americans; Fear not, for this moron is French.

[deflepphartme]

fuck u mysticxingjing16!! sav forever!! at least he's probably 100% sexier than u are!!1

[ITZfanover30]

Dude, they were talking about 'florentcognet', not Sav.....

mysticxingjing16, WHAT YOU SAID!!

[deflepphartme]

ooohh say that i said sorry to mysticxingjing16.....

[Isle0fRed]

its not better than queens verson it just differnet

[lladnoj]

i'd have to agree with you, this is poorly done. but keep in mind it's next to impossible to do a cover of queen and not make a fool of yourself.

[deflepphartme]

sav is SEX-EYYYYYYYYYYY!!

[martyn1047]

Its off a wal-mart bonus disc you got with the yeah cd! Cool cd if you can get hold of it.

[gailweathersfan]

go Sav

[superxivismanita]

WOW O_o WOW

[allison45454]

wow-Sav has a wonderful voice!!!

[YOYUDO]

Actually this is a Queen song. It was written by Freddie Mercury, and by the way, he sings it much better than Rick.

[sieke]

is written by Brian May

[defleppardgirl36]

OMG! I love it! Sav is so hot! I'm glad you sneaked in a few pics of my STEVE also!! <3

[beatlesgirl1980]

Beautiful cover!  Thanks for sharing it AND the eye candy!;)

[ILOVEGNR15]

that's Sav? wow, he sounds amazing

[liddlesav93]

he's cautttee(: & has a sexy voice(: haha

i love you sav<3

[aiwala]

Hey, love this song so much!

[Freddiesoldfaithful]

Ha ha cool. I love that song! :)

[justinvh1]

I love Rick Savage so much! He is so amazing!:D

[SparkleLounger]

Yep, certainly sounds like our Rick to me! Never heard this song before but Queen definately popped into my head while I was listening to it (before I read the post below by the way). I wonder if I scream 'Dear Friends' loud enough at their shows in June, whether he'll sing it?!

[dirtysouthlepluv]

Sav has an amazing voice! Whenever Def Leppard is playing live you mainly hear Sav on background vocals anyways...along with Phil. And this video is HOT! Great job.

[princessmagical]

Rick has an awesome voice!! Joe can never be topped but Rick is almost as good. Joe and Sav should sing a duet sometime.

[siriuslysmitten]

As a long time Def fan I can tell you that it most indeed IS Sav singing. The bass is a Hamer. And yes, it is a great song, as it is originally a Queen song.

[deflepfan13]

i love his voice it sounds so pure and natural and REALLY cute!

[calissdetbnk]

what is that bass ? the white one

[siriuslysmitten]

it's a Hamer

[deedee2454]

this on the walmart bonus cd for Yeah.

[sixxlee]

wow savs a good singer :O )

Good song too!!!

is this off a solo album? if so whats it called?

[liddlesav93]

i never really heard him sing like that before. =]

he's really good!

[liddlesav93]

i actually think this really is sav because its definatley not joe and its definatley not phil. good job savvy!

[dougallisnotcoollke]

I love his bass!

[savvygirl4ever]

I love his voice,I think it's really soft'n' beautifull,I love Sav,He's so sexxxy!!!

[iLuvDefLeppard2Much9]

igfrenzy, you dont kno watchu talkin bout.

u have no taste in men or singing SO GO CHOKE ON A STICK!.
